Ready to go vest free? This is the classic alternative. Designed to be worn either on the hips or at the chest (hence the name), this bombproof, streamlined pack is the ultimate in functional simplicity. Now made from tough, polyurethane-coated polyester (47% recycled) double-weave, the Hip Chest Pack has been upgraded with new DWR (durable water repellent) coated zippers and custom fish pulls, a side magnetic loop, retractor attachment bar and quick-release DuraFlex® Stealth-V buckle. The brushed stretch neck strap has been lengthened, while the stretch mesh external storage/water bottle pocket and internal organizing panels remain.

At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.
